Stifel analyst Jonathan Black raised his price target on Align as he believes that the company's 2020 EPS can increase to "close to $7." After Stifel conducted checks with 48 orthodontists, Black is upbeat on the company's teen business. The analyst adds that the company's SmileDirectClub "is just starting to gain traction," while he predicts that its international business will continue to perform well. The analyst reiterates a Buy rating on the stock.
Morgan Stanley raised the firm's price target on Align Technology to $360 from $344 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares, which the firm thinks should rise on the Q1 beat and "surprise" FY24 revenue guidance raise. The raised guidance implies a "healthy" second half ramp, which "inherently comes with risks," but management expressed confidence in market stability and innovation drivers, the analyst tells investors.
Baird raised the firm's price target on Align Technology to $370 from $333 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm said the higher forward guide should especially be well-received given March consumer spending/ortho demand uncertainties, and while visibility over the next few quarters admittedly remains limited by macro, the company's consistency is improving.
